The first week back for Dosbarth Aur began well. They were introduced to their new topic "Black Gold" and were very enthusiastic when researching information on the coal industry. The video footage of "Coal House" provided information to help with their autobiography from the point of view of a miner. Children wrote their autobiographies during their Big Writing session on Friday and were of a very high standard. Swimming lessons also began this week. Children were excited to visit Rhondda Sports Centre and are looking forward to swimming regularly over the next few weeks. The week culminated with a visit from the local fire service who provided essential information on fire safety. An enjoyable week had by all.
